Honestly, the only things you have to get used to are looking through your front windshield versus the side windows and the fact that everything really is closer than what they appear to be in the mirrors. It helps that they're power and you can use your factory mirror controls which I thought was neat.

A week old, but it's still cold and winter-ish here.
The first time in about a year my car is off the lift, the first plan, was just to get another stock, 13B engine in my auto FD.
Suddenly i ended up with a manual single turbo car

The picture was taken with my dirty (greasy hands) Nokia, sorry!

Brand is authentic RE-Amemiya AD9. Fits amazingly well. The instructions that came with the mirrors show where to drill.

I also have a new wing to add to that photo.




Not everyone's cup of tea, I understand, but I've been waiting for this wing since I bought the car.

looks great with the wing.

i've heard mixed reviews on the fitment of the authentic hood, but i guess it also depends on what bumper you're pairing it up with. i hope the carbon fits as well as the frp. never opened my instructions, kept that bag sealed. good to know though, thanks.
